Bibliography & Works Cited Page

When we do reports and research we must give credit to those sources we use. The list of sources we use is called a Bibliography ora Works Cited Page. If we use sources for our paper even if we don't cite them directly we must include them in our bibliography. A bibliography may also include works that are related to your topic. Any sources that we paraphrase or directly quote in our paper must be cited on the works cited page. An Annotated Bibliography includes a summary and/or reflection of each of your sources. You should 1. summarize 2. evaluate and 3. explain how the source fits as part of your annotation.

Whether you are doing a bibliography, annotated bibliography or a works cited page you must follow a specific format. The format we use at SIS is called MLA. All citations need the same basic information from the different sources you use so it is important to keep track of these sources so you can quickly find the information you need to create a correct bibliography or works cited page.

You can create your bibliography or works cited page using the MLA Handbook but this can be difficult and confusing. A better way to create your citations is to use an online citation generator like the ones below. Citation GeneratorsEasy BibCitation Machine
